Prophecy Concerning Israel's Shepherds And Sheep

4 The weak, have ye not strengthened And, the sick, have ye not healed. And the torn, have ye not hound up, And that which was driven out, have ye not brought back, And that which was straying, have ye not sought out; But with force, have ye ruled them and with rigour. 5 And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; And they became food for every wild beast of the field. So were they scattered. 6 My sheep did wander through all the mountains, And over every high hl,- And over all the face of the and, were my sheep scattered, And there was none to inquire And none to seek out.
